How often do you get complimented about your outfit?

I agree with your statement Ali.M
I forgot about that, I also get hit on by gay men sometimes.

It's a good sign someone thinks you look good :O

I rarely receive any compliments on what I'm wearing, and I generally consider this to be a good thing. Since most people have limited knowledge and appreciation for style, their comments are often not meaningful and may even be indicative of a problem with your outfit.

Most people will compliment you on your clothing because what you're wearing caught their attention. But catching the average person's attention is often be caused by your outfit creating a poor sense of confluence-- i.e. the concept of the body and clothing becoming one and indistinguishable from each other. An outfit may convey poor confluence if you wear clothing that's....

1. Too tight
2. Too loose
3. Mismatched styles
4. Does not match your personality
5. Mismatched to the current environment or activity

Thus rather than seeing an integrated image, others may see you and your clothing as two very seperate things. Once someone spots that you're wearing "fashion", they are likely to comment. This may even result in a compliment since the observer can tell you've made an effort to be "dressed up", thus purveyors of polite small talk (not myself) will feel compelled to complement you.

Usually get one every once in a while when I walk into some stores selling more pricey stuff. Do also get some from my firends, but only when drunk.

You're putting it exactly right, I think. Sartorial remarks often result from errors of conveyance, congruence or context.

wore my helmut lang laceups with some ervell pants awhile back pretty conservative like and a chick friend said "i like those pointy toed shoes". i was all like "wat" and she was all like "those are kidna pointy" and i was like "really? i dunno lol"

true s tory

that's cuz the square toes have re-calibrated her pointy toe meter doggy

i guess. still thinking of selling them now just to play it safe (3)

About three years ago I wore my apc, ndc and boo and my buddy commented on my distressed laceups looking like cowboy boots

Exactly. I rarely get any compliments except on footwear sometimes. Although, "you've got a new ..., nice" used to happen, but not often anymore.

In the states-- minus SF, Miami, NYC. Hardly ever.

I do get compliments on footwear and socks though LOL

taco...you have the best name

Occasionally I'll get compliments on my fits but I feel like you have to wear something with gaudy graphics and logos to get a lot of compliments around here. I do get a fair amount of comments on my shoes though.

co-worker - nice boots what are they me - alden co-worker - never heard, how much? me - $$$ co-worker - wow do you pack fudge?
